colonoscopy

i love the fact that al jazeera reports on president bush's upcoming colonoscopy at the end of an article regarding a ban on CIA torture:

Colonoscopy

Meanwhile Snow announced Bush is due to have a routine colonoscopy on Saturday and will temporarily hand presidential powers to Dick Cheney, the vice president, the White House said.

Snow said Bush will have the procedure at his Camp David mountaintop retreat.

He last had a colorectal cancer check on June 29, 2002. For the general population, a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer is recommended every 10 years.

But for people at higher risk or if a colonoscopy detects precancerous polyps, follow-up colonoscopies often are scheduled in three to five year intervals.
